LN here. Sorry for the delay, got busy.

I would assume almost always, once the first kid gets in, they'll pull in the second one. Unfortunately, your kid's lottery numbers must have been pretty similar - Hearst, for example, has a waitlist of 100 kids, so both your kids are right around the middle. You'd be better off if one of them had a better number, even if the second had a really crappy one.

Hearst #40 #55 - You've got a chance here. Of the past five years, twice they've gone that deep into the waitlist. So, 40% chance. Would likely be in August or September if you did get a slot. 
Ross #39 #54 - No offer.
Janney #45 #63 - You have a chance here as well. Of the past five years, twice they have gone that deep into the waitlist. So, 40% chance. 
Murch #43 #53 - No offer. 
Marie Reed #25 #29 - No offer. [/quote]

But at dcps schools, I would assume that data showing they made 30 offers doesn't mean a no-preference person who was ranked 30 on the wl gets an offer, because siblings will enroll in other grades and people will move in bounds and that will push the original #30 down on the list.[/quote]
